The preliminary schedule for CAAUK is up and registration is open (see both below). We have full tickets and concession tickets for those that can not afford to pay the full price. There is no criteria for concession tickets except for need. If you can not afford the full price then purchase a concession ticket.

Ticket sales will end when we have reached our fire capacity limit for the building (160) or October 19th, whichever comes first. Because of catering we can not accept purchases of tickets at the conference as we need to book food a week in advance.

You can attend one day or both days of the conference and each ticket includes CAAUK membership.

Group Travel and Bursaries

We are looking to support the travel of groups – University society, companies, just a bunch of friends interested in great archaeology and computing, etc. If you could get in touch with us right away if there will be several of you traveling and we can see if we can support you. Individuals will be considered too but preference will be given to groups.

Donations

Donations help us support bursaries and travel for those who are having financial difficulties. Please consider donating when purchasing a ticket.

The use of quantitative methods and computer applications in heritage is an ever-changing discipline, with new software becoming available and new processes being created every day.

We would like to invite the submission of papers and posters related to the general topics of quantitative methods and computer applications in heritage. Topics that could be covered include:

Archaeogaming

Data management

Geophysics & Remote sensing

GIS & Geospatial Analysis

Integration of scientific and theoretical methods in computing

Photogrammetry & 3D Recording

Public Engagement

Semantic web

Social media

Simulations

Statistical methods

Visualisation & 3D modelling

Visualisation & Mixed Reality in Archaeology

Website development in the heritage sector

Please note that this list is not exhaustive and we will consider submissions on any relevant topics.

Speakers will be allocated a maximum of 20 minutes for presentations. Please send your
abstracts to the organisers at: caaukedinburgh@gmail.com

Abstracts should be a maximum of 350 words with paper proposals geared around 20 minute presentations.

Because of the Strike at UK Universities the deadline for abstract submission has been extended for those affected to March 1st and 2nd. If you could not submit an abstract due to the strike please do so on the 1st or 2nd (non-strike days). However, no abstracts will be accepted after that.

The next annual meeting of the UK Chapter of Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA-UK) will be held in Edinburgh on the 26th and 27th October 2018. CAA-UK aims to encourage communication between UK-based archaeologists, mathematicians and computer scientists in order to stimulate research and promote best practice in computational and mathematical approaches to the past.

Details of the conference can be found on our website shortly and we will be be updating this with new information over the next couple of months.

The CAA-UK 2017 organisers have today released the call for papers for the conference taking place in Winchester on the 4th and 5th March 2017.

The aim of this years conference is to reassess the current methods used in computational archaeology and critically examine how the discipline should adapt with newer technologies and methods coming into place.

The call for papers (and posters) can be viewed here and all abstracts should be sent to James Miles by Friday 6th January 2017.

Registration for the conference will open towards the end of the year.
